*{{sk|Margin Trading}} [Req: Accounting 4]: reduces escrow requirement for buy orders by an additional 25% per level

Whenever you set up a buy or sell order, you will have to pay the broker fee: 1% of the total order (0.75% at max skills), modified by standings. Whenever each unit gets sold, the seller will pay ~~1.5~~% of the sell price as a ~~transaction~~ tax (~~0.75~~% at max skills). The fees show up in the wallet journal as "Brokers Fee" and "Transaction Tax".

Whenever you set up a buy or sell order, you will have to pay the broker fee: 1% of the total order (0.75% at max skills), modified by standings. Whenever each unit gets sold, the seller will pay 2% of the sell price as a [[Tax#Sales_tax|sales tax]] (1% at max skills). The fees show up in the wallet journal as "Brokers Fee" and "Transaction Tax".

So the typical station trader with zero standings will pay 2.5% of the order price as fees/taxes, 1.5% at max skills. This is important to take into account when calculating your profit, but of course the standings below can change that further.
